As Placement Monitoring Officer, you too can make a powerful contribution. You’ll be joining Westminster Adult Social Services - Adult Care team. We’re a diverse, inclusive team with an incredible passion for our work. As part of our team, you’ll manage a caseload of adults with complex needs, regularly ensuring that their service plans are fit-for-purpose.
You will monitor the health and social care aspects of all Support Plans, ensuring that a good standard of care is being provided. Our service users are in residential placements, nursing homes and supported living facilities. We seek to respect their independence, dignity and privacy. To help us do this, you’ll establish relationships that promote trust and confidence. You’ll give each service user clear information about their rights, responsibilities and work with them to agree on a support plan with measurable outcomes that maximises their independence. You’ll carry out the following: holistic assessments, care checklists, and reviews into finances. Risk assessments will reflect a person’s capacity to make decisions and acknowledge that they have the right to take risks. If you’re ever concerned about abuse of a vulnerable adult (even if they are not allocated to you), you will undertake Safeguarding Adults Investigations and report this in line with policy.
As well as carrying out assessment, you’ll prescribe equipment, assistive technology and minor adaptions to maximize an individual’s independence.
Another aspect of your role will be liaising with Social Services to ensure that placements meet service specifications. And, when possible, you’ll work in partnership with family and carers, staying sensitive to how these relationships may be complex. To make the most of opportunities within the community, you may reach out to other service providers and the voluntary sector.
You’ll be working with culturally diverse clients with a number of different needs – including physical disabilities and mental health issues. The diversity within our own team we see as our collective strength. Join us and do rewarding work every day.
